SHADE-HOLDER.

' To all whom it may concern:

Be it knowirthat I, EDWARD J. DAILEY, Jr, a citizen of the'United States, and resident of NewYork city, in the county of New York and Stateof NewYork have invented certain new and useful lmprovement in Shade-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is the manufacture of a shade holder, which is adapted to hold the shade in normal position and at the same time is capable of adjustment to angular position with ease and permanency.-

Figure l is a vertical elevation of a shade bolder partially in section, embodying my invention and Fig. 2 is a blank showing the method of stamping out an essential part of the device.

In the figure 1 is the lamp socket, 12 is the lamp, and 2 is the holder encircling the lamp and socket. The holder consists of depending arms A, attached to a ring 3,

' which grips the socketor is attached to it in the usual way. *These arms are generally four in number and have apertures 5, extending along their lengths. A sleeve member 6 is attached to the arms by means of pins 7 which fit into the apertures and it is by means of these pins'and apertures that the various adjustments are maintained.

The shade or reflector 11 is supportedb the suspension of its upper portion or use r on the sleeve 6 and a movement of the sleeve 6 will cause a similar movement of the shade. On the outside of the neck of the shade is placed a ring 9 having a screw top 10, the

lower part resting on the outer neck of the shade and the screw top 10 screwing on to the screw threaded top 8 of the inner sleeve 6. Parts 9 and 10 are not absolutely necessary but are used to preventany accidental displacement of the shade during adjust-' ment.

The methods of attachment and adjustment are asfollows: The sleeve 6 is slipped under the shade. so that the screw threadedcollar 8 and the pegs 7protrude therefrom.

point and the weight of the shade pulls them down to the lower contracted part of the apertures. Where an angular adjustment is required two of the apertures are used as pivots and the shade rocked upon them and the pin of the portion of the sleeve carrying the shade intended to be depressed is placed in a relatively lower aperture,

while the pin of that portion intended to thread revolved about the screw thread 8.

of the innner sleeve 6. This serves as an additional support. It will be observed that the shade holder can be used as a conventional shade holder in normal position,

and can also be used in a great variety of angular positions. While I prefer to use four arms in angular positions, any number can be used. The holder can be made of any material as long as'there is a certain resiliency 1n the arms. It can be used in shades and reflectors having collars as well as collarless shades, and the positions of the,

various sleeves are immaterial, as what is desired in the device is the wide range of adjustability of the holder parts obtained by manipulation of the pinmembers or their equivalents into apertures in the depending arms of the holder.

I -claim:

1. A shade holder comprising: a socket retaining member having a plurality of dependent arms, a shade retaining member fitting over the arms and provided with means of retention by the dependent arms to permit of angular adjustment of the shade.

2. A shade holder comprising: a socket retaining member having a plurality of dependent arms, a sleeve member fitting over the arms and adapted to retain the neck of the shade, the sleeve being provided with means of retention by the dependent arms to permit of angular adjustment of the shade.

3. A shade holder comprising: a socket retaining member having a plurality of dependent arms, a ring member fitting over the neck of the shade, a sleeve member fitting over the arms and under the ring and shade and provided with means of retention by the dependent arms.

4. A shade holder comprising: a socket retaining member having a plurality of de 5. A shade holder comprising: a ring :tas-

tened around the socket, a plurality of arms pendant from the ring havlng a serles of apertures therein, a sleeve member fitting over the arms and adapted to retain the shade, the sleeves being provided with pins adapted to fit in the apertures to permit of angular adjustment of the shade.

6. shade holder comprising: a socket retaining member, a plurality of arms pendant from such member having a series of apertures therein, and shade holding means provided with, pins adapted tov fit in the apertures to permit of angular adjustments of the shade.

Signed at New York city in the county of New York and State of New York, this 16th day of December, A. D. 1919.
